We are so bored of excellence we are now only concerned with the marital travails of our GM - The 2012 Yankees thred

work on excellence in October, eh

said the mets fan.

ho hum!

how can you be bored of another 8 months of A-Rod abuse by sports' most entitled goombah fans?

AND debating whether Captain DP should be batting first or not

783K img on the first post of a thread that will be updated year round? that will be great on peoples phones. :-/

no, not much traffic when the fanbase is so bored of excellence.

also as David Lynch said, "Don't read my thread on your fucking phone."

Download one Zing Touch.

madonna to perform at yankee stadium on sept. 6!

(centaur joke here)

no entitled goombahs in the mets fanbase, thats for sure

You oughta be a little more thickskinned rooting for the Team of the One Percent!

uh the "entitled" part comes from the acknowledged mindset that every season is a failure w/out the Series trophy. Yup sure, very Metslike, a team whose history by comparison is the Stations of the Cross.

btw they're reportedly considering Ibanez, Godzilla, or Damon, and not for Old Timers Day.

Maybe we just combine the yankees/mets thred this year and balkanize this discussion? <---I am 95% serious abt this btw

oh hell no

sharing Shea in '74-75 was bad enough

Kevin Kernan @NYPost_Kernan
Talked to a new buffed up Phil Hughes he just threw BP #YankEes

Must be fun interesting to edit his work just a #hUnch.

I've been working my way through The Bronx Is Burning--two more episodes to go. Quite a mess. I sure would love to have those two Yankees-Royals series on DVD, though.

@Ken_Rosenthal
Scouts yesterday had #Yankees' Pineda at 88-91 - "and there was some effort to get to 91," one said. Pineda averaged 94.7 last year. #MLB

@Ken_Rosenthal
Re: Previous tweet on Pineda. Yes it's early. But scouts were taken aback, asking each other if readings were accurate. #Yankees #MLB

If it's March 6 and you have to put forth the slightest bit of effort to hit 91 (when your average is 95), you are obviously toast.

If the ball isn't just shooting out of his hand by the end of the week, they better send him to Dr. Andrews.

controversial mod edit

no, no, no

can someone get that shit off this thread please

thank you

Don't do that again, please, it's not funny.

what it was

I didn't do it

was it goatse?

PM me for the link

pettitte is back wtf.. I wonder if they sold him on possibly winning another championship.. pettitte is probably a little bit better than garcia, but this sucks for phil hughes fans.

weird

idiotic

guess he just felt like the yankees wanted him more than his family did

hope it is a disaster

(ie he's more right wing than Romney)

guess he just felt like the yankees wanted him more than his family did

yeah this was so funny, he's like i just felt like i needed to be with my family, but my family just wanted me to play, so here i am

just looking to pad those hall of fame stats i reckon~~!

Maybe his family realized that he's annoying around the house and wanted him back in baseball.

Garcia does not care either way (sorta):

“I don’t really care,” Garcia said, when asked about Pettitte’s return. “That’s their decision. I’m here to pitch and that’s what I want to do.”

When asked if Pettitte’s addition was good for the team, Garcia threw his hands up, seemingly exasperated by the turn of events.

“I don’t know man,” said Garcia, who like Hughes a day before, gave a lukewarm reaction. “Ask the people. I don’t know. I guess …You play with the Yankees, nothing surprises you.”

Bobby V: "Is he going to start, or just pick guys off?"

Joba out for the season because he got a compound ankle fracture playing on a trampoline with his kid. Dang.

jobacide

ahhhhhahahahahaha, whadda maroon.

Chamberlain had surgery on Thursday night at St. Joseph's Hospital, and is expected to remain in the hospital for several days for the injury, which resulted in an open flesh wound around the ankle. Manager Joe Girardi was at the hospital early Friday morning.

Is this a "broken bone sticking through the skin" situation? AAAAAAAAHHHAAAhahahahahaha

players' kids should be locked away until retirement

I think million dollar meatheads just need better minders/handlers.

'dislocated ankle' gives me unpleasant chills. i'm not even sure how one does that. (don't describe)

open flesh wound around the ankle

sorry; flag post

sounds so remarkably painful

are you using that BP Prospectus odds visualizer? such a great tool. does 0.00% mean infinitesimally small chances below 0.01% or mathematically out of it? thought you might be know the answer.

I suspect that until a team is eliminated, it's an infinitesimal figure above zero.

i kinda want to see the 1-in-1000 scenario in which the royals make the playoffs

I would think the Red Sox and Braves got pretty close to 100% last August.

Ah, that Yankees magic ... they're 0-53 this season when trailing after 8 innings, only team in majors that's winless in that situation.

i wonder how many teams have finished 20 games over 500 and never had a comeback win of that sort

people can come up with statistics for anything, kevin.
forfty percent of all people know that.

RIP Five o'Clock Lightning

(OK, midnight in the modern AL)

TOKYO -- Ichiro Suzuki is looking forward to starting the 2013 baseball season the way he ended last season: as a member of the New York Yankees.

The Yankees and Suzuki finalized a $13 million, two-year contract in December that kept the 10-time All-Star in the Bronx after he was obtained in a trade with Seattle last July.

"Signing with the Yankees has given me a new sense of determination," the 39-year-old outfielder said Tuesday after a workout in Kobe. "This is a unique team. A team that can have a player like Alex Rodriguez as a pinch hitter is special, and to be part of that is exciting."

nevah gonna

god damn

the Yankees will try to find an escape hatch from their remaining five-year, $114 million obligation to the three-time American League MVP.

there is no escape (hatch)

The Yankees will be saved by Derek Jeter: 'the transcendent one'
